Title: Fiber optics transmission line
Inventor: FUJITA JIN
IPC: G02B6/02
Filed: 2004-08-24
Abstract: Even if a fiber fuse phenomenon occurs to start fire spreading, the fire spreading is shut off. 
     A graded index fiber (GIF) 3 is inserted between transmission-use single mode fibers (SMF) 2a, 2b on a fiber optics transmission line 1. The GIF 3 is so designed that its mode field diameter (MFD) gradually increases from a light entry side. The MFD exhibits a maximum value at a location 1/4 of a pitch from the end of the GIF 3. A GIF 3a is disposed on the light entry side. A GIF 3b having an MFD gradually decreasing is disposed on the opposite side of the GIF 3a. The GIF 3b is disposed on the light exit side. The lengths of the GIF 3a and GIF 3b are 1/4 of a pitch. The length of the GIF 3 formed by connecting the both is 1/2 of a pitch. 
     According to the present invention, an expanded MFD is inserted in the middle of the fiber optics transmission line, it is possible to shut off fire spreading caused due to fiber fuse phenomenon.

Abstract: Apparatus for extracting a cork from a bottle comprises a corkscrew mounted in a carrier, the carrier being mounted on a frame for longitudinal reciprocating movement with respect to the longitudinal axis of the corkscrew and the corkscrew being rotatably mounted on the carrier for joint longitudinal movement therewith, the axis of rotation of the corkscrew being generally coincident with the centre line of the corkscrew. A control nut is rotatably mounted on the frame, the control nut having a screw passage therethrough, the screw passage being positioned to receive the corkscrew and configured to mate with the configuration of the corkscrew whereby, upon longitudinal movement of the corkscrew in the screw passage, rotational movement is imparted to the corkscrew. Actuator means is operatively connected to the carrier for reciprocating the carrier. The apparatus includes first restraint means independent of the control nut for restraining rotation of the corkscrew with respect to the carrier, second restraint means for restraining rotation of the control nut with respect to the frame and latch means for releasably latching the control nut to the frame to restrain relative movement therebetween in the longitudinal direction with respect to the longitudinal axis of the corkscrew. The first and/or second restrain means comprises a detent on the part whose rotation is to be restrained and a recess for receiving the detent when rotation of the part is to be restrained.

Abstract: The invention relates to a video encoding method provided for encoding each frame of a sequence of successive groups of frames. This method comprises for each successive current frame, itself subdivided into blocks, the steps of estimating a motion vector for each block, generating a predicted frame from these motion vectors, applying to a difference signal between the current frame and the last predicted frame a transformation and quantization sub-step, and coding the quantized coefficients thus obtained. A preprocessing step, applied to each successive current frame, computes for said frame a so-called content-change strength (CCS), used to define a modified structure of the successive groups of frames to be encoded.

Abstract: La présente invention se rapporte à un système et un procédé de stockage d'un fichier unique comportant des parties multiples de données de contenu, et de téléchargement sélectif d'au moins une partie de ce fichier, et notamment des fichiers pertinents compris dans une archive de type zip, plutôt que l'archive en entier ; d'un chapitre plutôt qu'un livre en entier ; de l'image de couverture d'un fichier MP3 ; et d'une image de type vignette d'un fichier de type JPG avec un en-tête de type exif. La mémorisation des différentes parties de données autour d'une entité dans un fichier unique permet également d'obtenir l'avantage selon lequel on évite toute incohérence entre les différentes parties. Les données et les métadonnées sont souvent associées dans un même fichier (ceci se fait déjà dans le but d'éviter des incohérences entre les parties). A tire d'exemple, ceci se fait déjà dans un même fichier renfermant l'image entière et sa vignette ; les fichiers MP3 renferment déjà une image de la couverture du CD en association avec la musique ; les fichiers de type JPG (à en-tête de type exif) peuvent contenir des métadonnées (par exemple flash utilisé, exposition) concernant la photographie. De préférence, un fichier est organisé, selon la présente invention, de manière à comporter une table des matières décrivant les parties du fichier de telle manière que ces parties puissent subir un téléchargement partiel.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé et un système de traitement d'exception de documents MICR. Des documents MICR sont lus et triés vers une poche de destination en vue d'un traitement permettant de déterminer qu'une exception n'empêche pas l'acheminement de ce document. Dans des modes de réalisation de cette invention, par exemple, une erreur n'empêche pas l'acheminement du document si celle-ci n'est pas liée au domaine d'acheminement/transit. En cas d'erreurs numériques, un processus de reconnaissance de caractères optique (OCR) (300, 414) est effectué sur l'image électronique stockée du document afin de corriger ces erreurs numériques dans les données stockées lues sur les documents. Si on détermine qu'une correction ou qu'un autre traitement d'exception ne peut être effectué via ce processus OCR, l'image et les données MICR correspondantes sont affichées sur un terminal utilisateur (528), en vue d'une vérification ou d'une correction manuelle par référence à une image du document plutôt qu'au document lui-même.

Abstract: Provided is an optical image measuring apparatus capable of taking images of an object to be measured in plural depth regions in parallel. An optical image measuring apparatus of the present invention comprises: a beam splitter (4) for dividing a light beam into signal light (S) and reference light (R) ; beam splitters (5-1 to 5-(n-1)) for dividing the reference light (R) into plural reference light beams (R1 to Rn) ; frequency shifters (6-1 to 6-n) for shifting frequencies of the reference light beams (R-1 to Rn) by different amounts; and reflector plates (7-1 to 7-n) arranged at different distances from an object to be measured (O). The reference light beams (R1 to Rn) and the signal light (S) reflected by the object to be measured in depth regions (D1 to Dn) are superimposed on each other to thereby produce interference light (L). Shutters (9-1 to 9-3) extract interference light components (L1 to Ln) from the reference light (L), and CCD cameras (10-1 to 10-3) receive the interference light component and convert the interference light component into electrical signals to output the signals.
